SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The talk of Royals camp through the first week of games has been the prodigious power of outfielder/designated hitter Peter O'Brien, who hit three mammoth home runs in eight at-bats entering Thursday's game against the Rockies.
But the serious question is: Can O'Brien and that raw power somehow crack the 25-man roster?
The Royals already have three starters in the outfield, and they presumably have a primary DH in Brandon Moss, though manager Ned Yost has indicated he will move Moss around to the outfield and to first base as well.
